AdmiralBet ABA League Round 16, Monday, 23 January 2023:

CRVENA ZVEZDA MERIDIANBET - CEDEVITA OLIMPIJA

Where? Aleksandar Nikolić Sports Hall, Belgrade

When? 18:00

Story of the game: Crvena zvezda Meridianbet will host Cedevita Olimpija on Monday evening in this week’s NLB Match of the Round.

This game will be quite special. Not just that it represents the battle for the top spots in the regular season, but it will also determine whose incredible winning streak will continue.

Both Crvena zvezda Meridianbet and Cedevita Olimpija have won the previous 9 games in the AdmiralBet ABA League and they now have a chance to clinch their 10^th win in a row.

Each side suffered their last defeat in the league last year in the first week of November. That’s how impressive their ongoing streaks are.

The two sides met last year in the 2022 AdmiralBet ABA League Semi-Finals and Crvena zvezda Meridianbet prevailed in that series by 2-1. You should also know that the Belgrade side won the last 5 home-court games against their Ljubljana rivals.

Match-up in focus: Facundo Campazzo (Crvena zvezda Meridianbet) vs. Yogi Ferrell (Cedevita Olimpija).

These two are in incredible form. Campazzo had 30+ index rating in the previous two games in the league, while Ferrell picked up the MVP of the Month award in December.

Each of them is very capable of scoring plenty of points and delivering a bunch of assists, so their duel should be very exciting to watch.

Head-to-head score in the regional league: In total 7:2; In Belgrade 5:0.
